A 1992 pledge by former prime minister Khaleda Zia to nationalize Jinjeera PM Pilot High School in Keraniganj has not been implemented after 34 years. Zia made the announcement at a public meeting in Keraniganj on May 22, 1992. On July 28 that year, the Prime Minister’s Office informed school authorities that steps would be taken, but the nationalization process did not advance.
Local residents expressed anger and disappointment over the delay. They said the issue saw no progress despite the Awami League and BNP each returning to state power several times and several elected representatives from Keraniganj serving as ministers or state ministers. School section head Mizanur Rahman said local personal interests prevented implementation of the declaration.
Founded in 1922, Jinjeera PM Pilot School and College is among Keraniganj’s older educational institutions. It was upgraded to a college in 2003. The school section has 2,636 students from classes three through ten, while the college section has about 600 students, for a total of 3,236. Following BNP’s formation of government after the 2026 national election, residents have renewed their demand for nationalization.
